The Bridge Timber Steel Strap system presents a safety feature by reducing the possibility of a bridge tie fire spreading along the continuous timber guard rails. Steel straps have holes designed to hold the bridge ties in place and/or maintain timber tie spacing. Strap is typically 5/8 in. thick X 3 in. wide X 20 ft. long. Specified lengths are available upon request. Holes 13/16 in. diameter are spaced 4 in. apart in the strap sections. Hole sizes can be adjusted per customer specifications. Straps can be used in switch timber locations, rail lubricant areas and all areas where the tie spacing is a critical requirement.
